Default Living and Working in the Greece

Hello

I am new to this part of the forum, I have posted on the Cyprus pages before. My Partner and I want to relocate abroad sometime in the not to distant future. We are interested in the southern side of Cyprus, as It is simular to Greece, and there is work for us both there. However the wages are quite low, even though we are profeshionals.

To be honest our prefered location would be the Ionian Islands, Cephalonia to be excact. We have been many times, and love the place to bits. We will be out there again in September. What I would like to know about is the cost of living, and work opertunitie's for us on the Island.

My partner is an IT profeshional, working for the London Stock Exchange. She is university educated to Masters level, and can develope software, websites ect. I work in Enviromental Health, and I am trained to UK standards in both food Hygine and Pest Control. Also I would like to setup my own business as a Profeshional Photographer, shooting Weddings, and stock images for agencies back in the UK.

The info I am after is, will we be able to find work? What are the wages worth, we are not expecting the kind of money that we earn in the UK, but would like to live a reasonable lifestyle. Also house prices for 2 - 3 bedhouse, with private or shared pool. Ideally in Skala, Kefalonia, but would consider other area,s.

Any info would be gratefully recieved.
